CMV: Bush & his administration are worse people than Osama Bin Laden

So, I haven't a clue obviously, but if we're talking about preventing deaths by killing people you'll have to factor in all the people ISIS has killed as a result of the power vacuum we left behind. I couldn't even guess what the grand total is, but I do doubt it leaves our actions looking in a good spotlight. If it were, I would have expected to hear all about it at the Republican Primaries to contrast Obama's presidency from his former. But even the RNC doesn't want to tie themself to Bush.

I do think Hussein was killing his own civillians and I don't think thats acceptable, but I'm not convinced it was our place to take him out, and I think it's a bit disingenuous to justify a war based on that when our own allies like again Saudi Arabia are still to this day executing their own civillians with us not even voicing any decent, let alone using diplomatic sanctions, let alone military force against them.

There are a lot of bad leaders out there.. how much of our money and how many of our lives should we throw at that problem via military force? If we want to really help the problem, are military attacks the best avenue?
